  So you've got a rack of some kind and you want a diagram of
 it - and a way of parsing the data from that image, or vice-versa?

  Assuming an image like this:

    [    psu    ]
    [  server1  ]
    [  server2  ]
    ...
    [] legs ;) []

  You *might* find that you can draw the diagram in Dia, then
 parse the XML - since it would literally just contain 
 N * "box + text label" pairs.
